In this activity, students will follow geometric directions to create a fun mathematical Geometry-Tree (GeomeTree)! A fun winter break activity and a little vocabulary review as well! Who says you have to choose better fun and learning!?! :-)

The prospects with this are limitless! Your individual students, partners, or small groups have 12 faces on which to create innumerable projects: book "reports," animal research projects, biographies, ... truly this list could go on forever! You just need to decide what essential question you have and to best use those 12 faces!

In this project students must first find the square footage of 4 Minecraft houses, and then decide which they will build. Like any good contractor, they'll have to start by designing a 2D blueprint of the house they intend to build and then create the 3D version.

This completely editable Bitmoji classroom is set up with a bulletin board, SMARTBoard, clock (for class schedule?), calendar (for class events?), bookshelf (for daily, weekly, monthly reading options?), and so much more! Drop in your own bitmoji and start the electronic learning fun!! A link to your bitmoji classroom can even be sent to parents as a way to communicate and keep them in the loop! Enjoy!

This lesson plan template is created in Google Sheets and can be placed in a Google Shared Drive for grade level teams to work on when planning together. The Template tab can be duplicated so that plan files can be organized by subject, month, etc. to help keep things streamlined in the planning process.

This completely editable template allows students to write their own stories with links (already added) to different plot event choices from page to page which allows the reader to choose the path the story will take. The template is set up with 2 first level event choices in the rising action, 4 second level choices, 8 third level choices, 16 climax possibilities, and a total of 32 possible resolutions. This can be completed independently, as partners, or in small group collaboration. Addition

This is a PowerPoint template with all transitions and timings, as well as layout and question placement already completed for you. All you'll have to do is enter the questions you want to use for review, PD, or whatever else and it's ready to play.

Whether you want your students to create museum exhibits on Math, Science, Social Studies, Informational/Literary Texts, Art, Music...truly the options here are limitless...this completely editable template allows for it! It is set up for three exhibits inside the museum which means independent, partner, and small group collaboration are all options. Additionally, because it's on Google Slides, students are able to share and comment to help bump the entire project up to a level R on the SAMR sc

If you don't have access to one of the many web-based grade books available; this Excel workbook will do the trick! Student names auto-fill from one page to the next and grades auto-calculate. There are pages for reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and speaking/listening for each quarter (1-4); as well as student progress reports (which auto-generates as well). In addition, there is also a general information tab which you can use to keep tabs on returned forms, field trip info, etc

On the first day of school, have the students complete this activity to tell what things they are looking forward to, worried about, scared of, hoping for...etc. They can share with the whole class, a small group, a partner, or just with you. But it's a great way to get to know the people you'll be spending the year with in your classroom.

This is a set of two posters. One lists the pitfalls of AI that users should be aware of when using AI as a collaborative tool. The other lists the ways AI can be a beneficial tool if used appropriately.

This first day of school activity can actually be edited to have students complete math problems, talk about specific historical events/people, defend their thinking about ___, or any number of other things. It's 100% editable so that you can use it however best suits you. Enjoy the game and the M & Ms!!

This file contains four cootie catchers that are 100% editable. They are currently for time mathematics, but could easily be changed to be used for other areas/purposes. Let your students play with cootie catchers and do some learning at the same time!

This science lab report will walk students through the scientific method as they ask a question, make a hypothesis, and develop and implement an experiment. It's a great way to guide them while letting them explore the world of science through experience!

PowerPoint template to duplicate the iconic and much loved intro scrolling from the oh so famous galactic movie series!

This product allows students to request a picture with their work at times when they are feeling particularly proud of how they've done. < 3 The file contains two pages. One is a collection of small cameras and the other is the "stand". The small cameras should be cut out, laminated, and glued to mini clothes pins. The "stand" should be printed on heavy card-stock in order to support the weight of the small cameras and their clips.

Students frequently run right through periods and commas, skip words or even entire lines of text, read too fast or too slow, and make all other sorts of reading errors. This file "cites" them for not following the rules of the road - reading road. "Failure to stop" for example, is the citation they get for running through a period. As students read, mark their errors and then send them to traffic school.

This poster (can also be printed as a handout) will help guide students in making their sentences more detailed and specific; walking them through adding various pieces of information to their sentences to answer all questions the reader might have.

This science workstation/lab book walks students through 5 stations where they can explore various mixtures and solutions, and provides an explanation as to why each experiment works the way it does. The file is 100% editable, so make it what you need it to be!

This science workstation/lab book walks students through 10 stations where they can explore various chemical and physical changes, and then provides a conclusion space where they can use the experiences they've had to draw inferences about physical and chemical changes. The file is 100% editable, so make it what you need it to be!
